Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018.
Prosecutors argued that the president’s son lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form, falsely stating that he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs at the time.
Facing up to 10 years in prison on the first count, five years on the second, and another 10 years on the third, Hunter Biden's total potential prison time is considerable. However, the exact sentence he will receive remains uncertain. The decision rests with the judge, and as a first-time offender, Hunter Biden's sentence could vary.
Judge Maryellen Noreika mentioned that sentencing typically occurs about 120 days after a conviction, but no specific date has been set for Biden’s sentencing yet.
After the court proceedings, Hunter Biden left the courthouse holding hands with the first lady and his wife, Melissa. They did not speak to reporters, quickly getting into waiting SUVs and driving off.
